--------------- nvidia-graphics-drivers-375 (375.66-0ubuntu0.16.10.1) yakkety; urgency=medium * SECURITY UPDATE: - CVE-2017-0350, 2017-0351, 2017-0353 (LP: #1689336). * New upstream release: - Added support for the following GPUs: o GeForce GTX 1080 Ti o Quadro P3000 o Quadro M520 o TITAN Xp - Fixed a bug that could cause EGL applications to crash when calling eglInitialize() multiple times on X11-backed displays. - Fixed a regression that could cause rendering corruption on a monitor connected via DisplayPort upon a modeset event (for example, changing resolutions or power cycling the monitor). - Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL applications to crash when VT switching between multiple X servers. - Fixed a bug that caused the system to become unresponsive after resuming from power management suspend/hibernate. Additional symptoms of this bug included display flickering and "Xid 56" errors in the kernel log. - Fixed a bug that caused backlight brightness to not be controllable on some notebooks with DisplayPort internal panels. - Fixed a bug that left HDMI and DisplayPort audio muted after a framebuffer console mode was restored. For some displays, this caused the display to remain blank. - Fixed a bug that caused audio over DisplayPort to stop working when the monitor was unplugged and plugged back in or awoken from DPMS power-saving mode. - Restored support for the following GPU: GRID K520 - Fixed a regression that caused corruption in certain applications, such as window border shadows in Unity, after resuming from suspend. - Fixed a bug that could cause some applications to crash when running with PRIME Sync. - Fixed a bug that prevented PRIME Sync from working on notebooks with GeForce GTX 4xx and 5xx series GPUs. - Fixed a bug that caused OpenGL apps to have excessive CPU usage when running with PRIME Sync but without native displays enabled. - Fixed a bug that could cause PRIME Sync to deadlock in the kernel, particularly common on Linux 4.10. - Fixed a bug that caused PRIME Sync to run slowly on systems with Pascal GPUs.

Specifically, the log in screen does not load. The problem is that many of nvidia-* driver packages do not depend on xserver-xorg-legacy which is needed for gdm/gnome-shell to work Test Case ========= 1. Check that gnome-shell depends on xserver-xorg-legacy. 2. Optionally, if you have an affected computer, set gdm as the default login manager (sudo apt install gdm3; sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3; sudo reboot). Does the login screen show up? And can you log in to gnome (sudo apt install gnome-shell)? Regression Potential ==================== Low. Installing a missing dependency should cause no issues; if it does, something is very broken already. Other Info ========== The most minimal fix here for 16.04 LTS and 16.10 is to just have gnome-shell depend on xserver-xorg-legacy. Updating all the nvidia-* packages in Ubuntu and the PPAs would be a lot more trouble; although that would still be a good idea so that this gnome-shell dependency could be dropped in future Ubuntu releases. xserver-xorg-legacy is a very small package. gdm3 depends on gnome-shell. Original Bug Report =================== Using latest Ubuntu Gnome x64 daily build with all updates installed. Lenovo Z70-80 laptop with Nvidia 840M, BIOS updated to latest version, secure boot and other potentially problematic BIOS settings disabled. Can only see a black screen instead of a log-in screen after boot completes when proprietary Nvidia drivers are installed. Regular Ubuntu works absolutely fine on the same machine with the same driver version. Attempting to use older drivers on Ubuntu Gnome made no difference. Bug is affecting more than just me.
